After the "total energy" and "diesel electric" threads I would like to broaden the brainstorming about the generation and the use of power on board yachts or pleasure craft.
Let's face it quite candidly, yachts-boats-pleasure craft or whatever you name it, are power-hungry toys with not much "usefull" applications other than the joy and the fun of the owner of the toy.
In view of global economic parameters, present and future, it may be a usefull exercice to think about how to build more economic and environment-friendly "toys".
Various contributions have been made in the foregone threads. The focused interest on this platform by people from all horizons, with varying training and professional occupations makes the "Yachtforums" an ideal think-tank for this kind of blank-sheet-of-paper approach.

So, let's think with a child's imagination and with unobstructed minds about such topics as:
- how can the necessary power be generated onboard yachts?
- how can it be distributed?
- where and when do we need power and how much?
- what technology is available today, ready for use onboard or to be adapted?
- imagine new techniques to generate power.
- which combinations may be of interest?

- is power used in optimum format today?
- where can changes be made?
- etc. etc.

Happy thinking!
